Hubble Sights a Galaxy with ‘Forbidden’ Light

This whirling image includes a brilliant spiral galaxy referred to as MCG-01-24-014, which lies about 275 million light-years from Earth. In addition to being a distinct spiral nebula, MCG-01-24-014 has an incredibly energetic core referred to as an active galactic nucleus (AGN) and is classified as a Type-2 Seyfert galaxy. Seyfert galaxies, in addition to quasars, host among the most typical subclasses of AGN. While the exact classification of AGNs is nuanced, Seyfert galaxies tend to be reasonably close-by and their main AGN does not beat its host, while quasars are extremely
